NFL Free Agency 2022 edition

[PatsFan2]

No, I see you point and agree to an extent….all star teams don’t win a whole hell of a lot either

My point was simply I’m not crying over the process right now

Trust the process.

 

[PatsFan2]

Well ****…(I know it’s a mistake)

Did we Trade him??

 

[DaBruinz]

IF they are reserved in spending this year. It's quite obvious they have conceded that they had a couple of blunders last year. We don't have a competitive roster at all on paper right now. But alot of already Better Teams than us do.

Since when does what's "on paper in March" make a damn bit of difference to the actual season?

The #Falcons are signing free-agent RB Damien Williams

 

[DaBruinz]

Sounds like it’s purely down to the patriots not wanting to spend money this year.. from what I’ve seen on Twitter

Yes.. Because twitter is such a bastion of truth when it comes to teams and free agency..

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Well ****…(I know it’s a mistake)

You know it’s a bad offseason when teams are able to sign your players who are under contract.

Some things are too obvious like the Patriots roster right now. Its weak and Lacks a lot of Top end talent. Even Ray Charles can see that.

 

[DaBruinz]

Can we worry about that in four years after he played his fifth year option?

Unless something unforeseen happens (major cataclysmic injury) to Jones, I expect him to get his extension long before the Pats have to worry about the 5th year option being against the cap.

 

[MahomestoKelce]

Got me there.

What's amazing is they looked even worse a week later in Pittsburgh. And yet somehow after that they flipped a switch and won five straight. Winning SB.

I honestly thought that play would cost them the SB. They weren't good on the road all year.

The Pats are "weak" at certain positions, but not overall. Still a LOT of time left. getting your panties in a wad over it now is a waste of time and energy..

Ehh..... It's fun to talk about the team as currently constituted, and to compare them to the other teams of the league as currently constituted, but we're a long way from training camp, never mind from the season opener.

Right now, things don't look great. But let's all just remember 2 things:

1. Yes, they do look as if they've fallen behind a bunch of other teams
2. It's March, not September

What you see in March doesn't always translate to Nov & Dec.

I agree

Called it .
I called it from Jump street.

God I hope we bring back Trent Brown.

With their current cap situation, the Pats will be shopping at the K Mart blue light special for a while. The sooner they unload Harry and Slojuan, the .sooner they can shop in a higher class neighborhood.

The fact that you think that the contracts for Harry and Williams are having an affect on what the Patriots speaks volumes. No. Their contracts are miniscule and have only a minor impact on things.

The Pats will have more than 85M next year (taking into consideration draftees and future signees this year). They'll have PLENTY to spend and won't have to be "shopping at the K Mart blue light special for awhile".


New England Patriots Salary Cap | Over the Cap (Note: Overthecap is only projecting an 18M increase in the cap from this year to next).

Will Free Agents not be more expensive next year as well as they know cap is increasing?

Lotta time left, and the draft, but can’t help but wonder if their reluctance to spend is leading to…gulp…
LT: Herron
LG: Wynn
C: Andrews
RG: Canadian Guy
RT: Onwenu

I’m 80% joking. Know it won’t look like that…hopefully.
